We've seen a number of coaching changes in our area high schools recently, and they have been met with varying reactions from the players and supporters of the school that is losing its coach.

Many are supportive of the coach.

Most are saddened by the news.

A few find themselves angered that they've been left by someone with whom they've forged a strong relationship through the years.

Those mixed reactions have led to misguided explanations.

Through Twitter and other social media, those frustrated players have vented and reasoned away why their coach left.

The most common excuse when the coach is successful is: "He knew all the talent is graduating and he can't win without it."

If the coach hasn't been recently successful, then the excuse shifts to: "The coach was tired of losing."
